The Mysterious Benedict Society

Are You a Gifted Child Looking For Special Opportunities?' Dozens of children answer this peculiar newspaper advert and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests. Only four children — Reynie, Kate, Sticky and Constance — succeed. They are all orphans, exceptionally talented, and honest. Their mission is a secret. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they'll find in the hidden labyrinth of the school's underground tunnels is more than your average school supplies. The New York Times bestseller now available in paperback!
